点评:Our Amazing 10-Day Philippine Adventure
What an incredible 10-day adventure we had exploring some of the most beautiful and unforgettable places in the Philippines! From the moment we arrived in Manila, everything was so well organised, and we were made to feel welcome and looked after throughout our entire journey.
Day 1 – Manila to Moalboal
Our adventure began with a flight from Manila to Cebu, where we were warmly greeted at the airport by our tour guide. We then travelled south towards beautiful Moalboal, stopping at several interesting tourist locations along the way.
On arrival in Moalboal, breakfast had already been arranged for us by the tour company. After checking into our lovely hotel that afternoon, we headed out for one of the highlights of our trip – snorkelling with the amazing sea turtles and huge schools of sardines.
The tour company had arranged experienced swimming and diving instructors who were fantastic. They made us feel safe, confident and relaxed while enjoying this incredible underwater experience.
That evening, we had some well-earned leisure time and treated ourselves to relaxing massages. What a perfect start to our holiday!
Day 2 – Canyoneering at Kawasan Falls
Day two was full of excitement! We met in the hotel lobby and set off for our morning adventure in the gorge. After a short safety briefing and getting our equipment on, we began our canyoneering adventure.
We walked, climbed, crawled, swam, floated, slid and, of course, jumped! The scenery was absolutely spectacular, and every part of the experience was exhilarating.
Eventually, we reached the famous Kawasan Falls, where we were faced with an incredible 45-foot jump. Jumping was completely optional, but our enthusiastic canyoneering guides encouraged us – and amazingly, we all did it!
It was such a thrilling experience and one we will never forget. After all that excitement, we enjoyed a delicious Filipino lunch in an open-air setting surrounded by fresh air and beautiful nature.
That evening, we travelled onwards to Oslob.
Day 3 – Whale Sharks and Tumalog Falls
We were up early for another unforgettable experience – our whale shark interaction in Oslob.
Our wonderful tour guide had gone to the queue as early as 5 a.m. to secure our place, meaning we didn't have to worry about it. We then set off to meet these magnificent gentle giants.
Afterwards, we travelled by motorbike into the mountains to visit Tumalog Falls. The waterfall and surrounding scenery were breathtaking and provided another wonderful experience.
We then travelled back to Cebu and caught the ferry to Bohol, where we stayed overnight on beautiful Panglao Island.
Day 4 – Bohol and the Chocolate Hills
Our fourth day was another busy but fascinating day of sightseeing. We met our guide in the lobby and set off on our Bohol Town and Sights Tour.
We visited the famous Chocolate Hills, the Blood Compact Shrine, and the Tarsier Sanctuary, where we had the opportunity to see these tiny and fascinating creatures.
We also enjoyed a Loay River Cruise, complete with lunch and an amazing cultural performance. Experiencing the local culture, music and traditions made this part of the trip particularly special.
Later, we explored Hinagdanan Cave before returning to our accommodation in Panglao. We then had some much-needed leisure time to relax and enjoy the island.
Day 5 – Cebu City
After breakfast, we continued our adventure around Cebu City. We visited TOPS and the spectacular Temple of Leah, which was absolutely amazing.
We also visited the historic church of Santo Niño, one of the most important religious and historical sites in the Philippines.
We had arrived wearing shorts, but our thoughtful tour guide quickly arranged appropriate clothing for us so that we could enter the church. Once again, nothing was too much trouble for our guides.
Day 6 – Coron, Busuanga
The next morning, we took an early flight to Coron on Busuanga Island.
Our tour guide had arranged for a driver to meet us at the port, and we began exploring almost immediately. We visited Maquinit Hot Spring and enjoyed a town sightseeing tour before checking into our hotel that afternoon.
Coron was absolutely beautiful, and we were already excited about what the following day would bring.
Day 7 – Paradise in Coron
Day seven was truly one of the highlights of our entire holiday.
Our boat was ready, and we set off for an incredible island-hopping adventure. We visited Kayangan Lake, Siete Pecados, Twin Lagoon, Skeleton Wreck, Sunset Beach, Reef Garden, Coral Garden, CYC Beach and Barracuda Lake.
The underwater scenery was simply breathtaking. We saw beautiful coral, colourful fish and incredible marine life. At times, it genuinely felt like we were swimming in paradise.
We snorkelled, swam and explored throughout the day and enjoyed a fantastic island lunch. There was certainly no shortage of food – in fact, there was far too much!
It was one of those magical days that you wish could last forever.
Day 8 – Coron to El Nido
We had an early transfer to the port for our ferry journey to El Nido.
The four-hour journey provided some spectacular scenery as we travelled between the islands. Unfortunately, the sea sickness was not quite as enjoyable! However, once we arrived in beautiful El Nido, it was easy to forget the discomfort and appreciate just how stunning our surroundings were.
Day 9 – Island Hopping in El Nido
Another incredible day awaited us as we headed out for our El Nido island adventure.
We visited Seven Commandos, the Big Lagoon, Secret Lagoon and Shimizu Island, with plenty of opportunities to swim, snorkel and admire the incredible scenery.
We also enjoyed kayaking and a wonderful boat picnic. The crystal-clear water, limestone cliffs and beautiful islands made this another truly unforgettable day.
Day 10 – Puerto Princesa and Home
Our final day started very early, with a 4 a.m. shuttle transfer to Puerto Princesa.
Even though we were tired, we still had another fantastic day ahead of us. We visited the famous Underground River, as well as a crocodile farm and butterfly farm, where we also had the opportunity to learn about and meet members of local communities.
Finally, we took our flight back to Manila, bringing our incredible 10-day Philippine adventure to an end.
A Holiday We Will Never Forget
Looking back, it is hard to believe just how much we managed to experience in only 10 days.
We took three flights, three ferry journeys, stayed in seven hotels and enjoyed countless amazing activities and experiences – and it was all included in the price of our tour.
What impressed us most was how transparent Destination Tours were about the cost and what was included. Breakfast was provided every day, and whenever lunch was included, we were told about it before booking. There were no unpleasant surprises.
We contacted Destination Tours on 6 August, hoping to start our holiday on 7 August. Their response was incredibly prompt, and amazingly, we began our tour at 3 a.m. on 7 August!
Throughout the entire trip, the guides and drivers were friendly, helpful, professional and incredibly accommodating. They took care of so many little details, allowing us to simply relax and enjoy every moment.
From swimming with sea turtles and whale sharks, jumping into Kawasan Falls, exploring caves and lagoons, seeing the Chocolate Hills and tarsiers, to snorkelling among some of the most beautiful coral and marine life we have ever seen – this trip truly had everything.
We could not recommend Destination Tours highly enough. They helped make our Philippine adventure exciting, stress-free and absolutely unforgettable.
The Philippines is a truly beautiful country, filled with wonderful people, incredible scenery and unforgettable experiences. We have come home with amazing memories, hundreds of photographs and stories that we will be talking about for years to come.
Thank you, Destination Tours, for giving us the adventure of a lifetime! 🇵🇭❤️
